Midland Newcomers Club hosts  style show and silent auction at Greentree Country Club. Over $1,200 raised from the silent auction, luncheon and style show were donated to Midland Fair Havens. The proceeds will help meet the needs of single mothers and their children.  

     According to Newcomer member Holly Elliott, “The purpose of the Newcomer's Club is to welcome new residents, help them make new friends, and provide varied interest groups for them to participate in.  The club meets the first Thursday of each month in a member's home for an informal coffee.  A luncheon, general meeting and planned program is held the third Thursday of each month.  Charitable Contributions is a volunteer project adopted by the club, and we chose Midland Fair Havens as one of our recipients for this year.

     Participating in an activity is a great way to meet new friends!  Here are some of the outside activities Newcomer's offers:  Book Ends (a book club), Wine and Dine ( a dinner club that includes spouses), Explorers (for the adventurer who likes to visit places of interest), Stitch and Sew, Bunco, Bridge, and Tennis.  We encourage new members to join in these activities and get involved.”

Transportation is a determining factor in  the success for single mothers. With the donation of this vehicle, Bill Johnston, will enable one mother to deliver her child to daycare, attend college, and work at a nearby restaurant. Bill has been instrumental in helping this mother achieve her career and lifetime goals. 

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

Lamentations 3:22-23

Stay up late, make a difference.

Blogathon is this Saturday, July 29, from 8 a.m. until Sunday, July 30, at 8 a.m.

So there’s still time.
   What do you have to do to participate? Not a lot really ... just log on to www.StickyDoorknobs.typepad.com or www.mywesttexas.com, stay up all night with me and drop an encouraging note from time to time, pledge a little if you haven’t already and play my trivia games. One-hundred percent of your pledge will go to Midland Fair Havens --, a local charitable organization helping women and their children with transitional housing during times of personal and family crisis. It’s a wonderful, life-giving, loving organization strong on family and faith.

You can pledge ... through Sticky Doorknobs' pledge page ... or through theBREW's ... or through my friend Eric’s page, at his Fire Ant Gazette pledge page. 

We'll be offering valuable gift certificates from Barnes & Noble.com, iTunes and The Academy (and maybe even elsewhere) every hour for correct answers to sports trivia questions, the "Where in the World is Jimmy P?" photo trivia contest and Album Zoom-Ins (identify the album cover art, win a prize).
